POINT OF NO RETURN (São Paulo, Brazil)
Legendary Vegan Straightedge powerhouse are coming back to Europe after 23 years!
Founded in 1996, this three-singer Brazilian band has carried the vegan straightedge banner in the tropics, singing about political issues and playing a metallic, mosh-infused brand of hardcore.
After releasing two albums and one EP and extensively touring South America and Europe in the early 2000s, the band went on hiatus in 2006.
In 2024 they were back to play shows and to release their brand new album, “The Language of Refusal” 12” for Indecision Records (US) and Refuse Records (EU). On their new songs they addressing some of the most pressing issues today, such as deforestation and labor exploitation in the Amazon rainforest, the inequities of global warming, the rise of global conservative populism, and the challenges of organizing dissenting political movements.
Members of PONR are also known from their other notable bands like RATOS DE PORAO, I SHOT CYRUS, NO VIOLENCE, DISCARGA, INSPIRE or B.U.S.H. to name a few.

ANTI-CORPOS (Berlin)
Born in Brazil in 2002, Anti-Corpos, the queer-punk-noise band, has fought for gender equality in heavy music since the beginning. Over the past 20 years Anti-Corpos has played over 300 shows, countless tours and have released 7”s (both released by Emancypunx Records)
The band, now based in Berlin consists of former members of Eat My Fear, Dominatrix, and Nervöus. With this formation the band brings even more ethnic diversity on western stages and spreads awareness for underrepresented minority groups throughout the European music scene. Their new release – “Backlash” 12” is coming out soon on Emancypunx Records, Refuse Records (EU) and No Gods No Masters Records (Bra) - it’s heavier, with a bigger, groovier and noisier soundscape but still with the same lyrical centre: Political, feminist, and the struggles and importance of being an immigrant band in the German/European scene.
